WTF Did We Just Do, Jen Psaki?

Still trying to wrap your head around that 18-month, six-billion dollar campaign? Not quite sure what to make of Tuesday's results? Not to worry: for the next few days we'll be surveying the best and brightest in politics and punditry to help you make sense of it all.

With Jen Psaki, traveling press secretary for the Obama campaign

GQ: What the f*ck did we just do for the last year?

JP: Spent 2 billion dollars and ultimately learned elections are about the will of the American people and who they think will fight for them.

GQ: What does the Republican party need to do now?

JP: Take a close look at the core of their party and decide whether they want to continue to alienate a large percentage of the country on social issues by embracing candidates who would rather hug the tea party agenda than allow women to make choices about their own healthcare and individuals to make choices about who they love.

GQ: What does the president need to do in his second term?

JP: The beauty of a second term is that the president can continue to reach out to members of both parties to work on the agenda he started in the first term. The affordable health care act will continue to be implemented, education reform and addressing important issues like climate change will no question be at the top of his agenda. But he can also work toward comprehensive immigration reform and tax reformissues where change has been a long time coming.

GQ: What's the lesson you're taking away from this election?

JP: Two things. First, this country is still divided and both parties need to keep that in mind, but there is a changing demographic with the growth of Latino population, African American vote and youth turnout which have moved the electorate toward a more centrist and even progressive place. Second, the President has four more years and Republicans have a choicethey can either find a way to work together or leave the country in a state of gridlock.

GQ: What is the most astonishing thing about the race to you?

JP: Eight years after gay marriage was used strategically by the Bush team as a divisive issue to turn out the conservative vote we are in an entirely different place as a country. The American people have moved rapidly on this issuesomething as a country we can be proud of.

GQ: Give us one song that sums up your feelings about the end of the campaign.
